No one Some of the wiser men at gress and the senate, are anxious to know about it, and the press intim- ates that an inquiry may lead to a discovery, Is it not yemarkable how the peo- ple's money will be misused or mis. pplied ? Grafting is permeating every branch of the 'public service, It is cropping up everywhere, The Prison System. The political offices pension act of England was passed in 1869, This act created three classes of pensions, First comes a pension of £2,000 per annum, To this an ex-minister is entitled who has seen four years' service in an of fice or not less than £5,000 a year, Next we have a pension of £1,200, To obtain this an ex-minister must have saerved for five years in an of- fico of less than £35,000 and not less than £2,000 per annum. Last comes the pension of £800 a year for an ex-minister whose salary during the five years' tenure of office was less than £2,000 and more than £1,000 a year. But any ex-minister must declare, if he applies for one of these pensions, that without it he cannot maintain properly the dignity which naturally attaches itself to the position of an ex-minister. 1{ he becomes later much better off through a substantial ad. dition to his fortune from any cause, he is expected to resign his pension. | Moreover, the pension falls into abey- ance on an ex:minister's re-appoint- ment to office, : This is somewhat different from the Canadian act, and somewhat befter, The grading is necessary becaase in the old land there are varying offices of varying salaries, whoreas the Can- | adian pension applies only to the ex: members 'of the government whose | salaries are alike, with one exception, The greatest difierence hes in the | fact that the pension is only paid [| to the one who represents that he can- the dignity of his posi- t, and' its continuance his inability to vise o] not' desert Mr: ly struggles and home rule hich they serve' to their ward them in their retirement, . ou sree fo late premier, Mr. Be | party deserted him.

The home rule scheme of the great commoner drove 'Chaniberlain into op- position, and as a unionist he became the ally of the Duke of Devonshire and { with him the strong supporter of Mr. Sms Balfour in the Unionist government, Mr. Chamberlain has been for some time taking his stand as a proteetion- garded as a "visionary" for some time before he left the government. Mr. Balfour mays have been impressed hy. the ex-colonial secretary's argu- ments, but he was for a while non- committal, : Friends of the ex-premior say that he must have realized all along that ee | the taxation of foodstuffs would be a ! 'conscience fund," stating that it is most unpopular proposal. Yet it is remarkable that he discussed it at all, and that in his griticisms or notes he said enough. to disturb the nation and isolate himself from the party. The defeat of Mr. Balfour 6n Mon: day does not end his public caccer. He will get another seat. The incident only shows how quickly public senti- ernment utilize the soil and seeds ment changes. Some yoars ago he was | * the idol of the people. To-day he is the castaway. And all hecause he preached an apparent heresy.

Last night, in Whig Hall, the Fort. nightly Club added another successful dance to the several years of continu- ed gaieties, which have been given un- der their skiliul management. There were¢ an unusually large number of the more youthful element in attend- ance and all had an evening of much pleasure. The club had not been hcld- ing their two week "little gatherings," since November, hence last evening's affair had been long looked forward to by those who'usually attend. Cros- by and O'Connor's orchestra, furnish- ed the musical necessaries of the even- ing and with the floor in the "pink of perfection," the pleasure was true, in- deed. It was with many vain regrets that the jolly crowd left for their homes at an early morning hour, Jolly A Word Of Advice. Biddlecomb was holding his eldest fon in carnest converse. 'Boy," he said, "I am filled with anxiety when 1 think that you will soon make the choice of a wife." "I have not done so yet, father" the young man replied, "What sort of wife would you suggest 2" The older man looked around cauti- ously. "My son," he said, "if. Your father's advice is worth anything to you, let me urge you to pw a woman who hasn't the independence, the positive- ness, the general characteristics of your mother." He was interrupted at that moment hy a light footfall and | realized that his beloved helpmeet had | entered the room. "No, my son." he continued; "do not hope to find an- other woman like your Wother.

It then re- turned having learned this much, ar- riving here about noon, Saturday, and on Saturday evening Chief Ryan, with the party, proceeded to Grindstone Is- land, and found the couple lodging with a family anmed Guernsey at Thurso. They refused to return to Gananoque, however, and Chief Ryan, after ' remaining all Saturday night and recovering the skiff, which was not Monroe's, but one which had been taken from Baker's cottage at Tre mont Park, returned on Sunday, mak- ing an examination of Tremont Park { and finding nearly every"place had been. broken into. » Monroe's boat was secured at Bak- er's, and brought to town, Baker's boat being locked up at Grindstone by order of Chief Ryan. The examination at Tremont Park proved that, the couple had spent their time in the cot tages there instead of on Leck Island, to which they went on Friday even ing. Chief Ryan describes the man as tall and slim, with fair complexion and with light' moustache. He gave his name to the chief as DeWitte. and said he was English bv birth _and that his father was a resident of Detroit and quite wealthy. Of his companion he would not talk. The people of Grindstone had a dance at Thurso on Saturday evening, after which a col lection of $1.50 was taken to send the couple to Clayton, where they have likely arrived ere this. The local an- thorities considered it was not ad visable to have extradition papers got out for them. On Sunday morning, Gracey, of St. Andre church preached on "The Press as a Public Educator," comparing it with the methods of tuition in our public school system of education for the young. His sermon was a very able effort and was much appreciated. Miss Jessie Wilson, B.A, sister of Mayor W. J.
